Why this petition matters
Started by Bellany Otero
This is the dress code from Weatherly Area School District. They have 13 rules.
- Hats, hoods,bandanas, and sunglasses may not
be worn during the school day. Any headwear worn
must have a necessary function and be approved
in advance by administration.
2. The length and style of hair (both facial and
head) and jewelry shall be limited if it constitutes a
health or safety hazard or if it is harmful to the
building or equipment. In both cases, the student
may be required to wear some type of protective
covering or remove jewelry.
3. No exposed midriffs will be permitted. Shirts
must cover the midriff on all sides
4. No exposed cleavage will be permitted.
5. Straps such as those found on tank tops, muscle
shirts, halter tops, tube tops and/or spaghetti strap
tops are not permitted. Tops that expose the back
or parts of undergarments, including racerback
tops or similar articles, are not permitted6. All clothing must conceal undergarments. Shirts/
leggings that reveal undergarments, whether due
to the transparency, length, or lack of coverage are
not permitted. Pants must be worn at the waist and
completely cover the buttocks area. Pants may not
be worn in such a way as to expose undergarments
or skin around the midsection.
7. The bottom hem or edge of shorts, skirts, and
dresses may be no shorter than three (3) inches
above the top of the knee when standing.
8. Any article of clothing with a printed message,
word, or phrase may not contain profanity,
obscenity, or the promotion of any illegal activity or
violence. Likewise, any article of clothing with a
picture or graphic may not be obscene or promote
any illegal activity or violence. 9. Skintight and close-fitting clothing is not
permitted. Leggings, yoga pants, or similar tight
pants worn alone are not permitted. Wearing
leggings with longer tops under shorts, skirts, or
dresses is permitted if these items are the proper
length.
10. No pajamas or sleepwear may be worn.
11. The length and style of accessories will be
limited if they constitute a health or safety hazard
or if they are harmful to the building or equipment.
In both cases, the student may be required to
remove the accessory.
12. Footwear must be worn. All shoes must have a
back or strap. No slippers will be allowed. Safety
considerations may dictate the type of footwear
worn in specific classes or school settings.
13. Clothing containing holes, cuts, tears and/or
rips that expose undergarments or skin are not. They are not allowing us to wear anything. They are taking it way too far. We have to change some of these dress codes. They say we can’t wear leggings or sweats or anything? This is not right we should have the freedom to choose what we want to wear and not have to sit there at let them dress us. Please sign this petition so we have the freedom to express ourselves as people and the future of this world. How would we be able to feel comfortable at a school that we have to dress the way they want us to.
